We've had this debate before, I am getting a deja vu feeling. I think that the Community Wardens would have been well placed for collecting on the spot fines for this, they would have paid for their annual salaries within the month where I live. I am a dog owner, but at least I pick up the poop...

Its the owners who take their dogs out and let them leave a deposit on the playing fields and municiple footy pitches that make me mad. Nothing worse than a child having a good time outside comming home in tears because they "found" the deposit. These owners should be imprisoned its putting kids health at risk.

Ok if we are gonna talk dog poo, lets have a look at one of the more interesting things that might be in it. Toxocara Canis, a form of nematode roundworm, propagates itself via eggs secreted in dog poo. The eggs can survive in harsh conditions like grass and playgrounds for a very long time - years! Once the parasite finds a new host the eggs hatch into larvae and can cause flu-like symptoms, sight impairment and occaisional blindness in humans, particularly children.

Here is a picture of an encapsulated larvae in the retina of someone's eye.

A really good reason to exercise your dog away from areas used by children and clean up after it. Cats can get it too, though they usually get a different form.

Chav, you might not like cats and take your point that they are left to roam but cats prefer gardens and do bury their stuff - dogs on the other hand don't care and do it where they're stood, on pavements where kids can walk. One pavement that I walked on the other day was literally every other step had to dodge dog poop.

My cat is tidy, it has a nice toilet under a tree in our garden (a very well cultivated tree I have to add) where it always goes. It is possible to train cats to do that you know!

As a former dog owner, for nearly all my life, I am the first to agree that dog mess is disgusting, anti-social and dangerous. My dearly loved 16 year old dog, who we had to say goodbye to last month, was a bit incontinent in the last year of her life and would sometimes "do it" on the trot as we walked. Pooper-scooper bags are cheap and fit nicely into a pocket. It was no great effort to clean up after her and I would no more have left her pooh on the pavement, or grass, than I would throw out human "waste". People who do should, in my opinion, be heavily fined.

I have a cat, too, I've also had cats all my life. It's not so easy to follow a cat around with a pooper-scooper but they can be trained, as kittens, to use a litter-tray. You can't blame a cat that has never had that training for finding its own lavatory and, yes, cat pooh is revolting and equally dangerous.

Attack the owner, not the animal.

Some dog owners just let their dogs out in the morning and push off to work......the dog can do what it wants, whenever and where ever it wants......these owners are irresponsible and should not be allowed to own a dog. Responsible owners take their dogs out.....have a pocket full off poop bags and pick up their dog's mess.
Cat owners who are responsible will train their cat to litter or to a patch in their own garden. I am owned by two cats and they both use litter trays.....I used to have a dog too and I never failed to pick up the doo-doo.

Katex.....I went in Mercer park recently and the area of grass close to the childrens playground was full of dog mess. I saw a large mixed breed dog.....with it's owner.....the dog did a poo large enough to be considered as being from a human .... the woman saw me watching her and she just gave a sort of gallic shrug and walked off ignoring the mess her animal had deposited.

well ime unconvinced i dont care how well trained a cat is unless it has never stepped foot outside the house no one no matter how good an owner can account for its whereabouts or its actions when in other peoples property

if my child walked into your yard and took a crap me saying but he usualy uses his potty or burries it in his leggo wouldnt make you feel any better about it i dare say

maybe i should start returning the cat crap to its owners via their letterbox

ps:

people who let their dogs crap everywhere are just as bad but at least a dog dosnt jump over your wall , take a crap and ****** off

You've obviously had some nasty "experiences" on your property, Chav. I sympathise with you but, you'd know this if you had any real knowledge of cats, it's just the same as your analogy of a child's behaviour. Cats are creatures of habit and they will chose a favourite spot for defacation. If the "spot" is chosen for them, from a very early age, they will stick to it (in a manner of speaking) for life.

Incidentally, if your child did as you suggest I would beg you to take him to a psychiatrist without delay. Conversely, of course, I could just get him with an air-gun.

Save the cats.

Scare off Chav from your property with an airgun.

Hate to resurrect his thread, but a remark on the 'Life on Mars' programme last week ( where a detective is transported back in time to 1973) made me laugh. They had caught a suspect and about to rub his nose in WHITE dog pooh. The traveller remarked that he doesn't see that much anymore ! meaning in 2006.
Terry Wogan had looked into this and explained on his programme was due to the fact that when you shopped at the butchers he always presented you with a marrow bone "and something for the dog". This was obviously calcium based and would account for the colouring in the pooh. Don't know how true this is, however, gave my sad brain stimulant and wondered if you would find this colour more acceptable Gayle ?
